I think the essential part of the perfect nagito characterization for me is making him always sound like. the most sarcastic motherfucker ever. smarmy and high-horsey and passive aggressive af. like regina george levels of insincere flattery. except he is being 100% SINCERE (most of the time) and has NO IDEA how much of what he's saying comes off as him Being A Dick

this only makes it harder for him to make jokes because his sense of humor is so dry already that it kind of just blends into the way he naturally speaks so it just makes him even less comprehensible which is ALSO an essential part of a peak nagito characterization. make this motherfucker inscrutible

#when nagito is the pov I want to see him being “genuine” and completely unable to parse why none of it seems to land w his classmates #and when he isn't (and this is important) I want him to be nigh incomprehensible #I want very few if not all of the characters in the fanfic to just. not understand a lick of what he's saying #with the exception of hajime #in certain circumstances #I really feel like the comedy of unintelligible creature nagito komaeda in fanfic is undertapped (or maybe I haven't looked hard enough)#(if thats the case please send me fic recs I'd love to read them)#danganronpa 2 #nagito komaeda #far be it for me to say “they don't understand you” to a years old fan-favorite character but. they don't understand you nagito komaeda #half joke ofc
